Latest English Musical Farce, Presented by the
Original Gaiety Theater Company of London,
Pleases New York Audiences Both as to
Book and Music—Measures Up to Promises.
An event of particular interest in the field of
musical comedy occurred on Monday evening
when, at the Forty-fourth Street Theater, there
was presented for the 'first time in America the
successful Gaiety Theater (London) production
of "The Girl on the Film." The American pro-
duction is especially notable in that it is presented
by the original George Edwardes' Gaiety Theater
company, which is appearing in New York for the
first time in fifteen years.
Both the play itself, described as a "musical
farce," and the manner in which it was presented
made an excellent impression on the critics and
the other members of the first-night audience, and
the music of the piece received particular praise,
a clever waltz number, "Won't You Come and
Waltz With Me?" being one of the features of the
play. Other numbers that were especially well
received were "In Bond Street" and "Down by the
Countryside."
"The girl on the Film" is by James T. Tanner,
with music by Walter Kollo, Willy Bredschneider
and Albert Sirmay, and lyrics by Adrian Ross.
Mr. Tanner has taken the moving picture business
as his theme and has woven what is said to be a
very interesting and humorous story. The hero
is the leading man of the "Vioscope" company,
who is much sought by impressionable young
women. The rivalry of pretty "Freddy" Fitzgib-
bon and Signora Maria Gesticulata forms the main
plot. The music of the piece is published by Chap-
pell & Co., Ltd.
Some of the daily newspaper reviews follow:
It is all very gracefully and delightfully per-
formed, rather British and soporific throughout,
yet the atmosphere is much more polite than that
which usually surrounds musical farce in this
country. A waltz song by Miss Seymour had
already been annexed bodily by an American com-
poser, but it was liberally applauded last night.
There is a new "The Miller's Daughter" for Miss
Seymour in the second act, and in that she was
also delightful. There are dances for Miss Whelen
and Mr. Grossmith, but not enough songs for
Connie Ediss. She needs another. Oy-Ra dances
marvelously, and "The Girl on the Film" will suc-
ceed in interesting New Yorkers on other grounds
than its irresistible fun.—The Sun.
"The Girl on the Film" quite lives up to the
Gaiety's best standard of such entertainments; the
big audience too equal delight in welcoming the
production to New York. If signs count for any-
thing, "The Girl on the Film" will not have crossed
the ocean in vain.—The World.
There is a pretty waltz in the score and several
"easy" airs that are playable and even whistle-
able.—Alan Dale, in the American.

issue of The Music Trade
Review is not big enough
for us to wish you all

wish to wish you.

fore we will just say,

Ragtime Composer Tells London Credjtors He

(Special to The Review.)
LONDON, ENGLAND, December 30.—Melville Gid-
eon, the American ragtime composer, is bankrupt.
At a meeting of his creditors to-day it was stated
that his insolvency was due to losses in gambling
and horse racing. Gideon estimated that he had
lost $50,000 in this way since 1912.
During his first year in England he earned
$35,000 as a pianist, but since then his earnings have
fallen away. His liabilities are $12,362. .No assets
were disclosed.
You Won't Believe It, But—
after we had seen so much obscene, we tore the "rags"
from "Rag-time," then plucked the "sick" from
"Classic" and knocked a different kind of "sick" out
of "Music'^the result was FIVE OLD-FASHIONED,
GOOD SONGS—Retail, 10 cents.
Then we "Whooped her up" into regular "seven-
come-eleven time" and what we have to show for that
is a folio of SIXTEEN real, live, GENUINE COL-
LEGE SONGS—In folio, retail, 50 cents.
Ask about them. Ask to see them.
